Students from the college carried out some new (to them) methods of working on site. One of these being the use of a power barrow. After some intensive training from the digger driver they were all given the opportunity to use the equipment to fill the foundations with crusher run stone. This was then spread and compacted in 150mm layers. It was good to see the students keen to get stuck in so that within the first week of operation on site the foundations were dug, lined with a geotextile material and filled to the correct level. The next stage of the job will be to locate the tires into position fill and compact them and prepare for the timber wall base plate. This stage will be carried out with the aid of the carpentry students.
